Multi channel Voltage

1. The purpose of the experiment

This application note is in order to introduce the 8-channel voltage acquisition system . The system included one Arduino UNO R3 board, one DS-REF-431,one TFT LCD screen(We have the LCD-2000-7775 and the LCD-2000-9225, you can choose one to use). The main content of this article is to present the voltage data display .The measured voltage range is 0~4.096V

2. Experiment platform

l  Hardware platform

  One computer, one Arduino UNO R3 board, a LCD-2000-7775 screen, USB data cable, DS-REF-431

l  Software platform

   Arduino-1.5.4, Aruduino drive for Windows

3.Experiment process

(1) We can use DuPont cable to connect the 9K resistance between VCC and A0 port, a 910Ω resistance between  GND  pin and A0 pin. The others(A1-A7) is connection as the same as A0.

(2)Then we can connect the reference source module to UNO R3 board, the connection of pin shows the following table.

Because of the development board internal reference source is not accurate enough, so in order to get a accurate value we need an external reference source. In this experiment ,we used the reference source module is designed  an production by ourselves, which will provide a stable precision reference voltage. In this test , it will provide an accuratevoltage of 4.096V. If you want to know more about the DS-REF-431, you can scan our website to download the datasheet. 

Connection circuit diagram as below:

(3) Open the arduino-1.5.4 software, and writing a program

²  LCD-2000-7775(LCD-2000-9225) is a thin transistor liquid crystal display，each pixel can be drove by the thin film transistor which is behind the TFT. By this way, it is not only improves the response speed of the display, and you can precisely control display levels. Then the color of TFT LCD will be more realistic. For the TFT LCD module, we can display numbers, English characters, pictures color and the like.

The initialization of LCD screen is shown below：

LCD-2000 Serial Quick Start manual

This application note applies to the following device:
Mega 2560, UNO R3, LCD-2000,TFT LCD Shield for Mega 2560，TFT LCD Shield for UNO R3

1. What is a TFT screen

TFT（Thin Film Transistor）is a thin transistor liquid crystal display，each pixel can be drove by the thin film transistor which is behind the TFT. By this way, it is not only improves the response speed of the display, and you can precisely control display levels. Then the color of TFT LCD will be more realistic. TFT is composed of a light source, a light guide plate, polarizing plate, filter plate, a glass substrate, alignment film, the liquid crystal material, a thin film transistor and so on. When the TFT display and drive IC (controller) integrated together, it became a TFT display module. We should to distinguish TFT screen and TFT modules. In generally, we use the TFT module. For the TFT LCD module, we
can display numbers, English characters, pictures color and the like.

2. The parameter comparison of these three modules

This application note describes three different drive LCD-2000 TFT screen module, and the parameter comparison of these three modules are as follows:

Module Number is type and controller chips numbered of TFT screen. Control Chip is TFT screen drive chip. The size of 2.0 inches is the distance between the corner of the screen. Resolution is the number which refers to the horizontal pixels and vertical pixels. Color Number refers to there is 65535 color in each point. Drive Library is the driver files which is prepared by our own.

3.Hardware connection

The TFT LCD Shield for Arduino Mega2560 should be directed put on Arduino Mega2560, and then put the LCD-2000 on the TFT LCD shield.

For the UNO R3 , it connect in the same way with Mega2560

4.Load the driver library

You should extract the library package file to “arduino-1.5.4-r2-windows\arduino-1.5.4\libraries” directory directly. 

5. TFT screen initialization

TFT screen with Mega2560 pin initialization, Example are as follows：
